Hi all-

Looking for some ideas here. My jag has had a lot of
Issues over the past several months. Gear box faults, etc. it has 88k miles on it. However, a few days ago I was reversing out of my drive way when I got a park code and a restricted performance and I couldn't get it out of park. Took to the local ford dealer who showed a code of PR0750. They are saying some sort of sensor shift and I need a new transmission. 2900.00 for a used one installed. Thoughts?

 

Start by getting a new battery. These cars are very prone to phantom codes when the battery begins to fail.

Past: '05 X-Type 3.0/auto Jaguar Racing Green

 

First, it can't be PR.... as R isn't valid, so maybe it's P0750.

We see few faults on your model so step back and take some time.

You really want to be able to do simple DIY or find a cheap and practical shop.

One thing we do see is loose/missing bolt(s) on the trans side for the shifter cable. May be that.

We OFTEN see weird faults due to a failing battery. Easily #1 suspect. Easy DIY and quite cheap to replace (especially if its age is uncertain).

You REALLY don't want to be at a Ford dealer!!

 

Wow, JagV8 and I simultaneously picked a bad battery

You dreamed of a big star

He loved to drive his Jaguar...

So welcome to the machine

 

Can you do your own work?
If not I would get rid of the car now.

A Ford dealer wouldn't have any more clue than a kid working across the street at Burger King. If you can't DIY, at least find a Jag specialist.

 

I see trans on ebay for $1000 and less with a warranty..

Do you happen to know what automatic transmission you have? Mine is a Ford 5R55N. I spoke to an expert in transmissions and he told me this is a fine tranny and most of the models in this era are really good. Tread cautiously with the Ford dealer overpriced parts. Get a battery for $135 or so and have the linkage bolts checked. You have too low a mileage for this much wrong, as a rule.

 

It's a ZF 6HP26 but for goodness sake don't replace it at this stage!!
